Perhaps you’ve seen them. The people that are coming around to your house as part of the census team. Did it strike you as funny? I mean, they’re a whole year early.
Back at the beginning of the year, President Obama seemed to “reach across the aisle” when he appointed Republican Senator Judd Gregg as Secretary of Commerce. Things seemed to go well, until Gregg found out that the US Census was going to be stripped out of the hands of Commerce, and placed in the hands of the White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel.
In my opinion, one of the biggest problems we have in politics today is that politicians are able to create ways for themselves to stay in power. When you can both control how long you’re hired and how much you will get paid you are just asking for corruption.
So, why is it that President Obama and ACORN are going to every house in the U.S. and GPS “Painting”1 them within 40 feet?
I mean, I know that Google maps can be unreliable at times, and that GPS systems in your car can be off by feet, give you the wrong location, and even give you the directions to restaurants that aren’t even open, but this seems like overkill.
Sure, it sounds innocent enough, and I’m no conspiracy theorist, but I can’t see a reason why the government should perform this function—a function that we do in foreign countries to help us track down “the bad guys.” I’m sure they’re using the war on terror to justify the action, the question is—what is the real motive, and can we ever know it?
- This is accomplished with a PDA and a census worker, who comes to your door and then records the exact location of your house [↩]
